Today's Scripture Focus

Matthew 4:4

devotional summary

Jesus made fasting a habit. This forty day fast was not His first fast. He was familiar with the practice and fasted often as a spiritual discipline to ready Himself for the mission His heavenly Father had for His human side. He used those times of fasting to become master of His body, not the other way around. Jesus understood pain and suffering. He knew sleepless nights and hunger. He knew poverty and hard work to just get by in the eyes of the world. Jesus mastered His humanness just like He asks us to do. He did it the same way we can, through practiced disciplines…every day.

Second, Jesus absorbed the scriptures. He knew them. He memorized them. He knew what the Father meant by each word, each sentence, each paragraph and section because He studied them. Jesus made the scriptures a significant part of His life so that when the temptations of life came and His humanness wanted to take an easy way out, He could lean on those scriptures to help Him through the temptations without falling to them. He asks us to do the same.

God understands our prayers much better than we think. He came to the poorest of the poor and heralded his arrival. He lived among the poorest and suffered the humiliation of an illegitimate birth in a small town. He knew the pain and suffering of being a cast off of society and knows our deepest agony. No one knows better than He what we go through each day. He understands, yet came to us anyway so that we would have a Savior that understands.
